I am at Day 35 of flowering and I am starting to see some yellowing of leaves from the outside in.

I realize that leafs dying at this stage is normal - but I am thinking of just giving the girls a good leeching as they have not had this yet and if I have any nute / ph lock it may be a good time to clear it - as I want my last 30 days to be optimal for final development.

If I do this I would fert at the next watering.

Any ideas if this would be good - or should I leave them alone.

Suggestions appreciated.

Definatly nute lock, flush them asap. with low ph water, test water before applying to plants should be around a ph of 5.0 if not your going to need to add very a small amount of ph down (follow directions on bottel and are available at most good garden stores). Once the water is in range apply to your plants. Once your ph is back in range in your growing medium (test your growing medium before and after flushing) then start nutes again.

very nice plants by the way.

hey there are also natural ways of lowering/raising pH. vinegar lowers pH and lime juice raises it.

Both vinegar and lime juice are acidic and will lower your pH. Perhaps you meant lime? as in garden lime?
